How to use bean as attribute?

I create a bean(sql result) from a servlet and put it in the request using setAttribute(bean) and then use dispacher to send the request to the display.jsp. In display.jsp i have a <jsp:usebean id="bean" class="beanClass"> but when i use <jsp:getProperty name="bean" property="colum1"/> it doesnt give anything. Did i miss anything? How does the usebean tag know which bean i wanna use? The usebean tag i used creates a new bean, right?

Hope to get some help
